Sick man in isolation in NYC does not have Ebola

New York -The man who went to the Mount Sinai Hospital emergency room Monday with a high fever and gastrointestinal symptoms after recently traveling to a West African country where cases of Ebola have been reported does not have the deadly virus, federal and local authorities said Wednesday.

The sick man was quickly taken to an isolation room at Mount Sinai pending test results from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which came back negative for Ebola. Hospital officials say the patient remained isolated in stable condition and in good spirits.
